That's the easy bit to fix; what about overwriting existing files instead of copying them? Do I have to explicitly check for them and delete them? It seems like there are several different copy functions in the module and it's not clear what each of them do. What's the difference between copy, copyfile, and copy2? Why do the docs imply that they overwrite existing files when copytree skips existing files? -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
